I'm looking to build my first PC soon, so I'm in need of some advice. These are the parts I'm looking at currently. Are they all compatible, and just how good will this system be?

Firstly, are all the components compatible? Secondly, will the case be reasonably easy to build in? Thirdly, how hard is it to actually build a system?

All advice would be much appreciated.
